The sordid saga of an abandoned trailer containing 37,000 lbs of rotten chicken ended today when the stinky freight was buried in a freshly dug pit.
The semi-trailer had been sitting at a Missoula-area truck stop for possibly a month or longer.
Authorities say the truck driver abandoned the trailer after his employer, Dixie River Freight Inc., refused his demands for more money to deliver its then-frozen cargo.
Alisha Johnson with the Missoula County Health Department tells Edward O'Brien the clean-up operation went off without a hitch and served as an excellent - and certainly unique - training exercise.
Here's the Bob Wire song inspired by the rotten chicken truck:
